A Minecraft Movie has triggered a chaotic phenomenon among cinemagoers (Picture: AP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The director of A\u00a0Minecraft<\/a>\u00a0Movie, Jared Hess, has shared his surpising take on the chaos unfolding in cinema screenings of his latest film. <\/p>\n

A number of cinemas have issued statements slamming audiences of A Minecraft Movie for \u2018erupting into sheer pandemonium\u2019 during the box office hit, with cinemagoers sharing footage of wild audience reactions from inside cinemas on social media<\/a>. <\/p>\n

In several instances, the police have even allegedly been called. <\/p>\n

One moment in particular has seen fans screaming, cheering and even climbing on their friends\u2019 shoulders in a clip that\u2019s gone viral online.<\/p>\n

Hess isn\u2019t sharing the concerns of the cinemas \u2013 he\u2019s finding the whole thing delightful. <\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s been so bananas,\u2019 Hess told\u00a0Entertainment Weekly<\/a>. <\/p>\n

This whole night was surreal and one of the most unforgettable movie experiences I\u2019ve ever had. . . #minecraft<\/a> #movie<\/a> #minecraftmovie<\/a> #chicken<\/a> #jockey<\/a> #chickenjockey<\/a> #fyp<\/a> #viral<\/a> #reaction<\/a> #funny<\/a> #meme<\/a> #moviereview<\/a> #featureme<\/a> #clips<\/a> #comedy<\/a> #video<\/a> #videogames<\/a> #games<\/a> #game<\/a> <\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s been way too fun. People are sending me these really hilarious speeches that a lot of teenagers are giving right before the movie. It\u2019s so hysterical, man. I\u2019m staying up way too late.\u2019<\/p>\n

The film,\u00a0starring Jack Black and Jason Momoa<\/a>, has enjoyed one of the biggest-grossing weekends of 2025 so far.<\/p>\n

In A Minecraft Movie, four friends \u2013 Garrett \u2018The Garbage Man\u2019 Garrison (Momoa<\/a>), Henry (Sebastian Eugene Hansen), Natalie (Emma Myers) and Dawn (Danielle Brooks) \u2013 are struggling to fit in when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld, the land of the popular videogame.<\/p>\n

The sequence that is causing problems for cinema staff involves Black and Momoa confronting a cuboid Minecraft chicken being ridden by another character that looks like a baby Frankenstein. <\/p>\n

The chaotic moment comes when Jack Black yells \u2018Chicken Jockey\u2019 (Picture: AP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u2018Chicken jockey!\u2019 yells Black, in a moment that saw one theatre full of fans start screaming, throwing popcorn, turning on their torches, leaping to their feet and shouting.<\/p>\n

\u2018My theatre clapped every time Jack Black name dropped a Minecraft item that was in the trailers, and when he said Chicken Jockey I s**t you not the entire row in front of me gave a standing ovation,\u2019 shared cinemagoer @Schaffrillas on X.<\/p>\n

\u2018When Jack Black said \u201cChicken Jockey,\u201d the theatre erupted into sheer pandemonium. Kids were cheering, clapping and jumping onto the tops of seats. Whenever Jack Black sang, the kids would get up and start dancing in the aisles.<\/p>\n
